Thanks! It's still all very buggy. I would wait another 4-8 weeks if i were you. Under the current setup (Logic 8.02, PT 7.4.2 and Leopard 10.5.3 on a MacPro 8-core) following 3rd party products are unusable: Absynth 3, Battery 2, Intakt, Kompakt (hence the EastWest QL Platinum Library can only be opened in Kontakt 2). Basically half of my Komplete 2 package i could trash. Also under Logic the TDM plugins don't accept numeric entries (no double-click and entry is possible)... Very annoying as i don't like fiddling knobs and faders with my mouse. Now finally East West have released a PLAY version of the Platinum Orchestra but i haven't received it yet so i can't say if it's any good. Stormdrum 2 on PLAY runs fine as far as i can tell since i pretty knew to the PLAY software. ProTools seems to run fine, at least from what i have tested so far. Only the RTAS Melodyne Plugin plays up sometimes (i get a message that the CPU is maxed out even though all that is palying is an instrumental and the vocal in question to be processed in Melodyne.
